DOOR-HANGER.

SPECIFICATION foi1iang part of Letters Patent 1\T0. 232,555, datecl September 21, 1880.

Applcation filed March 19, 1880. (No model.)

T0 all whom vlt may concern:

Be it known that: I, SAMUEL SHREFFLER, J r., of Morris, in Grundy county, State of Illinois, have invented eertain Improvemenss in Bam-Door Hangers, (Oase 0,) the construeti0n and operation of whieh I will proceed to explain, referenee being had to the annexed drawings, making a part of this specification, in whieh Figure 1 is 211 rear elevation, and Fig. 2 nu end elevation.

'Ihis nvention relates to that class of door hangers from whieh the door ha-ngs and 1011s by means of grooved wheels at the top, guided by a, rail or track, to open and. close the door; and the improvement claimed to have been made consists in the form of the hanger, to prevent the, travelng; wheels froni becoming disengaged fr0m it.

In the drawings, B represents the hanger, te whieh the door is serewed 01 bolted in the ordinary manner, the upper end of whiel1 bears upon the axle c0f the double tread-wheel a, as shown in Big. 2, and upon whieh axle i1: r0lls 'r0ni side t0 side to open 01 close the door. When the door eomes to a;sudden stop, when either opened 01 closed, it will bound npward so as to throwthe hanger off the wheels a,

unless prevented. In order to preventthis thehanger B is so eonstructecl that the axle 0 rolls in the long slot, eaused hy returning 2i portion of the hanger under the axle-forming hooks e shown in Fig. 1, whieh hooks e inelose the axle 0 so it cannot; get out of place should the door bonnd upward when it is rolled open 01 sluit; in a violent manner.

Thehooks e may be long enough te e0n1ein contact: Wth eaeh other er net, as may be deemed advisable; but they sh0nld be long enough to inclose the axle when the door is entirely open 01 entirely elosed,as the door is 110l3 liable t0 strike an obstruetion exeept in one or the other of said positions. It is in this h00k partieularly that I claim my invention lies.

Having thus deserbed my inventi0n, what I clain1as new, and desire te secure by Letters Patent, is as follows, to Wit:

The hanger B,having ;he hooks et0 inelose tl1e axle 0 of the wheel a, in the mminer and for the pnrpose set forth.
